In November 2022, Cylinda washing machines made in Turkey are sold.Ĭylinda is still owned by Elektroskandia Sverige AB.

The development part was moved to Lidköping. In February 2013, the washing machine and dryer production was moved to Velenje, Slovenia, and in July 2013 the dishwasher production was also moved. In June 2018, Chinese company Hisense acquired 95% majority in Gorenje Group. Gorenje transferred production of all Asko appliances from Sweden to Slovenia in 2013. In July 2010 Asko Appliances was acquired by Slovenian Gorenje Group. In 2008, Elektroskandia was acquired by the international company Sonepar. With the acquisition of Asko Appliances the ownership of the Cylinda brand was kept within the corporate group of Asea, but in 1999 the name was changed from Asea Skandia to Elektroskandia. Asko Appliances was acquired by the Italian Antonio Merloni Group in 2000. Somewhere around 1992, ASEA was dropped from the name and it became Asko. The company was acquired by Finnish furniture manufacturer Asko (founded by Aukusti Heikki Asko-Avonius) in 1988. The top loaders (only sold in Europe) also have four shock absorbers and no springs. In 1984, they introduced the washing machines as we know of today: no springs, four shock absorbers and a door that directly connects to the outer drum, the latter being a unique design for domestic front loaders. The original name was Junga Verkstäder, but after having been acquired by Asea in 1978, the name was changed to Asea Cylinda, later becoming ABB Cylinda after the merger of Asea with the Swiss Brown Boveri Corporation to form ABB. The company started producing a fully automatic front-loading washing machine and a compact dishwasher in 1965, and started exporting their products in 1967. The company was established in 1950 by Karl-Erik Andersson, whose first invention was a washing machine. Asko is upscale and competes against Bosch, Miele, SMEG, Viking Range, Fulgor and Kitchen Aide Electrolux. In North America, Asko imports only dishwashers and laundry appliances. The products continue to be sold in Sweden under the brand Cylinda and Asko. Asko Appliances is now owned by Gorenje Group which is a part of Chinese major appliances manufacturer Hisense. It was based in Jung in Vara Municipality in Västergötland.
